About Knot (UK) (kt (UK))
The UK knot is a historical variation of the knot based on the British nautical mile (6,080 feet) rather than the international nautical mile (6,076.12 feet).
1 UK knot ≈ 1.853184 km/h = 0.5148 m/s. Slightly faster than the international knot (1.852 km/h).
To international knots: × 1.00064. To km/h: × 1.853. To m/s: × 0.5148.
None in modern use. Only relevant for interpreting historical British naval records.
The difference between UK and international knots is only 0.064% — barely noticeable but important for precise navigation.
Assuming all old British ship logs use the same knot as today — they don't, but the difference is tiny.
Historical only. Effectively identical to modern knot. Only matters for historical maritime research.
About Yard per Minute (yd/min)
Yard per minute measures distance in yards traveled in one minute.
1 yd/min = 0.01524 m/s = 0.05486 km/h = 0.9144 m/min.
To yd/s: ÷ 60. To ft/min: × 3. To m/min: × 0.9144.
American football player speeds (50–120 yd/min), slow boat speeds, and some industrial processes.
NFL running back: 100–120 yd/min sprint. Average walking: 50 yd/min.
Confusing with yd/s (60× faster) or mph.
~30 yd/min = 1 mph. Used occasionally in American sports contexts.
